Jin Guoyan Kyoto City Palace, Wan Yan Yongji walked quickly towards the study where Wan Yan Jing was, the simple celebration of the palace a few days ago has already disappeared, with the death of Wan Yan Yong, Wan Yan Jing's actions in the past six months can also be said to be quite frequent.

Although he was afraid of Wan Yanyong's idea that he had just passed away and should not be wantonly manipulated, after all, he was a concubine of the saint, and he was married to the daughters of two ministers at a time, so there should be joy and excitement.

Wan Yan Yongji also understood that Wan Yan Jing's move to marry a concubine again so quickly after Wan Yan Yong's death was nothing more than a desire to stabilize his throne and maintain a more intimate relationship with the ministers who held real power.

The red lanterns lit up the night, and the water surface of the moat was sparkling, but Wan Yan Yongji's mind had been thinking about how to reply after seeing Yan Jing for a while.

Under the leadership of the eunuch Chen Xinxi, Wan Yan Yongji, who walked into the study, was just about to salute, but was stopped by Wan Yan Jing, who got up from behind the desk: "Uncle Huang doesn't have to be so polite, give him a seat." ”

The simple and clear words made Wan Yan Jing seem quite affinity, and similarly, it also made Wan Yan Yongji's mood somewhat relaxed.

"Holy Lord, the minister received Ye Qing's letter today, but he put forward a condition, the minister did not dare to make his own decisions, so he disturbed the Holy ...... late at night." Wanyan Yongji respects the way of monarchs and ministers, even if he does not have the heart to win the emperor, but in the face of Wanyan Jing, who is no longer the emperor's nephew, but a saint, he still adheres to the way of monarchs and ministers.

Listening to Wan Yan Yongji's words, Wan Yan Jing raised his head and sighed, and said: "I don't blame Uncle Huang for this, I was too anxious at the time, in fact, if I didn't tell Ye Qing what he wanted, I wouldn't have given him the opportunity to put forward conditions and play a scoundrel today." ”

Wan Yan Jing had a look of remorse, when he was in Jinan City, he was blocked by Ye Qing on the surface of the Yellow River, because of Wan Yan Yong's death, and looking at Ye Qing's harmless and friendly face, Wan Yan Jing was straightforward and reported the names of the people he valued to Ye Qing.

And although Ye Qing also kept his promise and did let several of the courtiers he wanted come back, he still left Wanyan Yongji and a few others for a while.

Now Wanyan Yongji has returned to Yanjing, but the two people Wanyan Jing wants more: Li Xier and Li Tiege are still unknown.

Wan Yan Jing was even a little skeptical that Ye Qing had killed the two people earlier, or that the two had already died in the battle of Jinan, but Wan Yan Yongji told him that Li Xi'er and Li Tiege were still alive, but they had been imprisoned by Ye Qing and refused to let them go.

"Li Xi'er and Brother Li Tie, are they very important to him?" Wan Yan Jing frowned and said incomprehensibly.

"Ye Qing's mind has always been difficult to fathom, this person has dealt with him for a few days in Jinan, and he has never restricted the freedom of the minister on weekdays, and from time to time he will go to the house to play chess with the minister, although his chess skills are like his character, he will always mess around, steal and play tricks, but his temperament depends on the minister, not the kind of person who will go back on his word for no reason." Wanyan Yongji said.

"And what are his conditions?" Frowning and thinking, he didn't understand why Ye Qing didn't let go of Li Xi'er and Li Tiege's intentions, then shook his head, and shifted the topic to the matter that had just finished Yan Yongji's performance.

Wanyan Yongji shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "Ye Qing's conditions ...... He will lend my Dajin Kingdom Holy Majesty your courtiers for his use...... ”

"Is he crazy, or stupid, the courtiers of the Dajin Kingdom lent him for use, what is he as a court official, and the subordinates and servants of the official's family can't be? I also lent him ....... Wan Yan Jing laughed angrily at Ye Qing's condition, and complained with a hint of depression.

"The saint is angry, the minister thinks that this is Ye Qing's desperate move...... Wanyan Yongji said.

"Cornered? What do you mean by that? Wan Yan Jing was stunned for a moment, and asked with a puzzled expression.

"The saint doesn't know, this Ye Qing not only wants to borrow my courtiers of the Dajin Kingdom, but also indicates that he must be a person who knows the water situation of the Yellow River well, otherwise it will ......." Wanyan Yongji said with a wry smile.

"What if it doesn't?" Wan Yan Jing was stunned for a moment, and began to think about Wan Yan Yongji's words.

"Otherwise, he will kill Li Xi'er and Li Tiege, so as to achieve the goal of setting the Holy Lord's backyard on fire......." Wan Yan Yongji said, while taking out Ye Qing's handwritten letter from his arms, handed it to Yan Jing and said, "In Ye Qing's words, ......." ”

"If you don't let the people of Shandong Lianglu and Nanjing Road be peaceful, I won't let your backyard be peaceful, don't think that I don't know who Li Xi'er and Li Tiege are, these two are the elder ......brother of your favorite concubine Li Shi'er." Wan Yan Jing took Ye Qing's handwritten letter and muttered about it, but when he read this, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Is there a spy planted by Ye Qing in the palace?" Otherwise, how would he know about Concubine Shu? ”

"The minister suspects that it was precisely because of the Holy Lord's proposal for these lists that he was made suspicious by Li Xi'er and Li Tiege. After all, Li Xi'er and Li Tiege went to Shandong East Road to serve as a dispatcher, just for their future careers, and they were not as important people as Wanyan Shoudao at that time, so this made Ye Qing suspicious, and secretly found out the identities of the two and the relationship with the Holy One, right? Wanyan Yongji thought about all kinds of things when he was in Jinan, that guy asked too many questions every time he played chess, and it was very miscellaneous, always with a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, making it difficult for him to perceive what he wanted to do, and even thought that the goods were such a god's chattering goods.

Now it seems that this guy has been deliberately tricking his own words purposefully, but until now, he has not been able to sort out and realize how many secrets of the Great Golden Kingdom he has taken from his mouth.

Wan Yan Jing sighed again, then lowered his head and continued to look at the letter, as if Ye Qing's shadow could be seen between the lines, Wan Yan Jing, who lowered his head from time to time, would let out a light laugh at the letter.

Slowly put the letter on the table, subconsciously patted the letter with his hand, and thought: "In this way, Ye Qing is in trouble, the water situation of the Yellow River has always been changeable, the water potential is uncertain, when the embankment is broken, it is like a fierce beast, but when it is in the river, it is extremely gentle, making it difficult for people to find the danger." Now it seems that Shandong has two roads...... Hehe, I'm afraid that there is another embankment, otherwise, Ye Qing would not have exposed his flaws in front of us. ”

"Yes...... Could it be that he deliberately exposed his flaws and led us into being fooled? "Wanyan Yongji has the feeling of being bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope.

Because he always felt that the relationship between Concubine Li Shi'er, Li Xi'er, and Li Tiege was probably inadvertently revealed when he was playing chess with the stinky chess basket in Jinan that day, of course, it was also possible that the goods deliberately took away their words without a trace, and they didn't realize it.

"Probably not, although his people are cunning and sinister, scheming, and even a little shameless, but they have always ...... in their chests There has always been an indescribable sense of the righteousness of the Chinese nation, so according to my understanding of him, he will not design us with the safety and livelihood of the people in Shandong. What's more, the two courtiers who understand the water situation, for him Ye Qing, in addition to being useful in the water situation of the Yellow River, in other aspects, it is obviously impossible to help him in any way, right? After Yan Jing thought about it, he couldn't help but think of the gentleman who often had an easy-going, confident smile on his face.

"That'...... Could it be that the Holy One intends to answer ......? Wan Yan Yongji naturally didn't dare to make up his mind in this matter, so he could only wait for Wan Yan Jing's decision.

"Yes, but let him release him first, and then you will send officials from the Ministry of Industry who know the water situation of the Yellow River." Wan Yan Jing patted the letter in his hand and said firmly.

Then his expression suddenly changed to a hint of melancholy, and he muttered: "It's a pity, it's really not time for me, if it weren't for the Tatars who have been disturbing the people in my Dajin Frontier, we could have taken this opportunity to recover the four roads in the north, attack the Song court head-on, and even occupy the entire Huainan East Road and other places, but now I am in my hands...... It's really impossible to distinguish so many people from going south at this time. ”

For this topic of leading the army to fight, Wanyan Yongji has always been extremely cautious, but at this moment, looking at Wanyan Jing, who looked melancholy and regretful, and Wanyan Yongji, who couldn't bear the sorrow of his imperial nephew, still said with relief: "Controlling water is never an easy task, if you want to control the Yellow River and guide the Yellow River to flood the water, it cannot be completed overnight." And now my Dajin Iron Cavalry, under the leadership of Wanyan Shoudao and other generals, has won successive battles, as long as the Holy Lord can be patient, once the Tatar rebellion is quelled, in the eyes of the minister, it is the best time to go south. ”

"Uncle Huang might as well explain it clearly?" Wan Yan Jing was stunned for a moment, and said without reacting.

Wanyan Yongji smiled confidently, and then said: "Managing the river embankment is not only a chore for my Dajin court, but also a headache for the Song people. After all, from Ye Qing's request for you to understand the water officials, you can see that the Song people have been unfamiliar with the water situation of the Yellow River for so many years, otherwise, how could he expose such a big flaw to you? More importantly, it costs money to clean up the embankments, especially those that stretch for thousands of miles like the Yellow River...... That's not a small amount. Imagine it, if General Wanyan Shoudao can quell the Tatar rebellion in the past two years, or in the shortest possible time, put down the Tatar rebellion, and then we can cultivate and recuperate, as long as we pay attention to the water situation in Shandong Lianglu and other places, once the Song people's river embankment is almost managed, then we will lead our troops to the south to recover the four roads in the north, in this way, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone, and save a lot of money to govern the river? ”

"Is that enough to show that Ye Qing's determination to govern the river is based on ...... On the basis of my Daikin and no longer able to go south? Wan Yan Jing said with reverse thinking.

"There is no such thing as an unpredictable prophet in this world, and who can predict what will happen in the future? Even if he Ye Qing, although his vision and height, as well as his prediction of the development of things are beyond the reach of ordinary people, how can he be sure that my Dajin will not go south again? How can you be sure that the Tatars will always be able to keep my golden iron horse in check for them? So that the Song court can sit on the territory of Shandong Fourth Road with peace of mind? I'm not afraid of the Song people, on the contrary, I think that among the Song people, there are not many people who have the same confidence as Ye Qing, and they will think that the four roads in Shandong can be permanently owned by the Song court. Wanyan Yongji still has incomparable confidence in the military strength of the Dajin Kingdom.

is different from Wanyan Yongji's self-confidence, Wanyan Yongji's self-confidence can even represent the confidence of the people of the entire Dajin Kingdom in the Song Dynasty, but just like the Song Court officials and people are not confident in their own army and are in awe of the Jin army, Wanyan Jing has an indescribable weakness and lack of confidence when facing Ye Qing.

"Since Uncle Huang can think of it, why doesn't Ye Qing know his predicament? How could he expose our flaws so easily? As I said just now, Ye Qing's heart to govern the river is unswerving, and he must be the back hand to guard against my Dajin, so we must not be too careless, lest we fall for him again. Wan Yan Jing frowned, clenched his fists tightly and pondered, and then continued: "But no matter what, the Northland Fourth Road naturally cannot be occupied by the Song people so easily, and now although my Dajin can't resist the enemy on both sides, it just takes advantage of Ye Qing's inability to distract us from guarding against us, even if he is guarding against us, I'm afraid it is also a situation where he has more than enough strength to do so, so we should pacify the Tatars quickly, and then strive to recover our Beidi Fourth Road in the shortest possible time." ”

Just as the two of them had just finished talking about the matter of the four roads in the north, the eunuch Chen Xinxi walked in and asked the concubine to see him.

Today's Wan Yan Jing, although he has just married the daughters of the court's important ministers Jia Guqing and Lin Ming, but when it comes to the favored concubines in the palace, even the queen Pucha can't compete with the concubine Li Shi'er in front of him.

Originally, she was just a palace maid, but by chance, when the eunuch Liang Dao accompanied Wan Yanjing, who was still the emperor's grandson, walking in the palace, she happened to meet Li Shi'er, who was a palace maid, and was amazed by the girl's singing voice and beauty, so she flew up to the branch and became a phoenix, and even her family followed her to receive the favor of the Dajin royal family.

Even Liang Dao, the confidant eunuch who accompanied Wan Yan Jing at the beginning, was given by Wan Yan Jing to Li Shi'er on weekdays, which can also be seen that in Wan Yan Jing's heart, Li Shi'er can be said to be deeply favored.

When Wanyan Yongji left, he still vaguely heard Li Shi'er behind him, asking Wanyan Jing about Li Xi'er and Li Tiege.

Wanyan Yongji, who walked to the corridor, couldn't help but remember the meaningful smile on Ye Qing's face when he was playing chess with Ye Qing in Jinan City, and asked why Ye Qing wanted to imprison Li Xi'er and Li Tiege.

One person ascended to heaven with a chicken dog, and this proverb suddenly popped up in Wanyan Yongji's mind, and then he turned around suddenly, looked at the brightly lit study behind him, and muttered in an inaudible voice: "There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and three thousand are favored in one." Could it be that Ye Qing ...... Is he really doing this for Jing'er, is he really afraid that Concubine Shu's relatives will cause trouble in the court? ”

Thinking of this possibility, Wanyan Yongji involuntarily took two steps towards the study, and the eunuch next to him was surprised by Wanyan Yongji's abnormal behavior, and when he was about to be reminded, he saw that Wanyan Yongji stopped and looked at the window of Wanyan Jing's study with a solemn expression, and after his lips moved involuntarily, he turned around and continued to follow the eunuch to the outside of the palace.
